Remembering 9/11

This is Jeremy Glick, a fallen hero from Flight 93. I listened to his widow tell the story of his life and their marriage in an interview on September 11, 2001. I was twenty-six years old and a newlywed who had been married for less than three months. Watching that TV interview was the exact moment that I discovered that I really, really wanted to become a mother.

Blessed Mother, pray for the soul of Jeremy Glick. Pray for his dear family. Blessed Mother, have mercy on the enemies of the United States. St. Micheal, Keep our soldiers, fire-fighters and police safe from harm.

What is a Third Order Carmelite?

A Third Order Discalced Carmelite is a person who responds to an invitation from God to live a life of contemplative prayer within the modern world.

Prayer to Saint Teresa of Avila

Teach us to pray with you with all our hearts:

"I am yours Lord.

I was born for you.

What do you want of me?"
